ok just bought this truck,now this doesnt look right on the back wheels,i would think it needs to be flat on the drum,right.i know these are nissan pathfinder wheels,what can i do to fix this if this is wrong,cut alittle of the wheel,grind down the little flanges.

should the wheel be flat on te drum not on the flanges,or what ever those things are called.

wtf are those bolts stickin out?

check out the front too if the back is hitting. The bolts are probably for hubcaps or something

those are gm wheels,they either need to be boared out or grind down the tabs, and do it fast, that is so unsafe, u might loose a wheel, im going to guess that the long thin bolt that sticks out is to hold the center cap because on the gm trucks the lug nut has a threaded nut that the gm attaches too, if those were pathfinders, they wouldve bolted up with no problem and they are 15" with a 3.90" hub opening, the gm's are a 16" with a 3.50" hub opening, the mazda trucks i think a 3.75"

^^ yes

the nissan hubs are bigger than the mazdas, they will clear the mazda hub with no problems, those definately aren't nissan wheels

lol when I had my Chevy wheels on I didn't grind those off for one, I didn't have a grinder to do so at that time, and 2: I wasn't tuckin the rear anyway. I drove like that for uh probably 500 miles or so

Not that I'm suggesting that. I'd get it taken care of asap, but I don't think your wheel is going to fall off lol. I'd just be careful slingin the rearend around drift style in corners Not sure the lug bolts would hold up to that kind of punishment.

You just got lucky hotdawg. They will eventually fall off.

And yes, grind them down completely on front and back.
